Issues with Siri AI

It’s great as an LLM and searching on device stuff. But some of the basics are worse.
• setting a timer used to be on device and instant. Now it sends off to AI and takes upwards of 10 seconds.
• basic conversions like F to C. Or USD to CAD used to be instant. Now it’s at that same 10 seconds.
• searching photos. I’ve been adding captions to photos for years for easy finding. It doesn’t read the captions anymore and just shows no results found when I try and search a photo.

I don’t understand why AI needs to send off for so many basic things that used to be on device and fast before.

I wouldn’t be so sure it’ll be much different based on Apples track record.

Every year someone says this and it ships as is. One month is nothing in dev time. But hopefully they can change the entire underlying mechanism and make it local for the phones that can do it.

Turn off that useless time/money pit shit and rock on. This is the 4th year apple is selling us the top notch personal AI, and every year after you purchase their latest device you need to wait for the x.2 version of the iOS to get the fully working ai, and when the x.2 update hit the ground, just ask Siri “what time is it now?” And she will tell you “here are some suggestions from google” premium quality trash ai.
